Canada 150 Pavilion invitation: Canada. Our Home. Our story as a nation is unique and full of intersecting stories, learning to live together as one yet respecting each other because we are not one but many. Our many collective stories and interests have layered together over time and land to build this nation to be diverse and intriguing. At this marker of 150 years we want to come together to share those elements of us that make us – us. Help us celebrate 150 years as Canada by hosting a pavilion on June 14th, 2017 at the Altona Canada 150 Celebration!
